Maggie and her now husband, from North Carolina, were high school sweethearts. There was no doubt in their minds that they were meant to spend the rest of their lives together.
However, just moments before they tied the knot, Maggie’s husband, U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Caleb Earwood, decided that there was something he needed to do. And it couldn’t wait.
He needed to pray with his soon-to-be wife.
“We were about to take our first steps in life together, and we didn’t want to take a step without it being in God’s will,” Caleb tells Today. “I prayed to God for my beautiful and intelligent wife that he blessed me with, and the amazing family I was marrying into.”
There wasn’t a dry eye in the room as Caleb grasped his wife’s hand and began to pray, and luckily the emotional moment was caught on camera.
“When I first grabbed his hand, he was shaking really bad, so I knew he was really nervous,” Maggies tells Today. “It relieved me to know the person I was getting ready to marry felt the same way about God.”
See the happy couple talk about that moment in the clip below:
